Let's face it, most people who volunteer are passionate about helping people - but for some influencing social change is also important. Volunteering for a campaigning organisation allows volunteers to help make things happen for large charities. Find out what the grass roots activists get up to here.

Worth Waiting For...

This is an important week in the life of any Oxfam Festival Steward, this is the week when we can start applying to volunteer at festivals over the summer. Having stewarded before we get advanced warning in order to get our applications in to beat the rush and stand a chance of getting to Glastonbury this year (new stewards have to wait till March to apply). With Glastonbury being back on this year we had to beat the rush to ensure we got the opportunity to get muddy in a somerset field while listening to amazing music. Poised at my computer on Monday morning ready with embarrassing passport photos and deposit cheques, I waited for the form to become live in order to fill it in and rush down to the post office. Application now in, all i can do now is wait and hope that I will be drinking Somerset Cider while listening to Kylie perform at this years Glastonbury festival.
